In long ages past, the Eternals were one people. Those times though now long past were still remembered by the Eternals as it was considered the golden age of the Eternals. This time had lasted from four billion years ago to one and a quarter billion years ago. In ties age the Eternals had perfected their arts, reached the zenith of their joy, created their most magnificent and most glorious technologies only surpassed in advancement in technologies for warfare later in their time, and their people’s colonies and borders were the most spread out even vaster then the Dark Eternal Empire later in the Eternals’ history. Those time were happier for the Eternals as yet no shadow or no fault in their joy as of yet until they waged a war against a dark power which they broke and destroyed utterly and they were no more, but yet this war corrupted them.

This city had once been deep within the Eternal Empire that had been ruled by the Eldest One of the Eternal race. The city had been abandoned after the Eternals had split into the two different factions the Eternals and the Dark Eternals. Even during the golden age of the Eternals this city had been mighty and a center of learning and of the Eternals. But, after the Eternals had left they had brought the most advanced technologies of the Eternals and also many of the deeper secrets of the Eternals. But, within the center of the city lay hidden many advanced Eternals technologies and also quite a few secrets of the Eternals on their lay a seal in the tongue of the Eternals as it read in their tongue,” Amvera Eternia mersa hermiana lingaera justa wenarir hansia menasea kinakea omoian queria.”

OCC: I am also looking for someone to rp finding this city. Also if you want to join in just leave a post please or TG me. Just to be clear this thread is open to anyone who won't come and start spamming and please join this thread as I want it to become as developed as possible and with as many rpers as to improve it and build it up.

OOC: Basically the same things except there are no vast stores of knowledge that will be opened for non-Eternals by the Eternals except that I might later if I feel like it. Also the world is brimming in seravain an Eternal alloy that does not age and is extremely resilient to any form of attack and also the world holds many ancient Eternals gems of great beauty and value as well as many natural riches as of yet untapped.

John Hatanaka, an archeaologist working for UCLA, was traveling through the fringes of the New Territories. He had found interesting things, many linked to evidence of Kroot colonization and expeditions from long ago. Recently, nothign new emerged.

And frankly, he was lost. The Indiana Jones, the old ex-Navy Mao Zedong I that had been stripped of its guns that carried him and his crew, had stumbled onto an unexplored area. Quite frankly, it was unnerving, and as much as the crew tried to send distress signals and hails, they were lost to New Dornalian civilization.

He was about to send another hail. Then-

"Sir.....you'll wanna have a look at this."

Hatanaka ran to the console. It displayed a planet. The scanners that had analyzed the planet indicated there was something big down there. Something that made goign down worthwhile.

He decided to hold orbit, and send down a few men. He prepped a crew, and a Gagarin class shuttle filled with tools and men went to the surface.....

....once under the clouds, a glimmering ruin emerged. A ruin that seemed to extend over miles and miles, and yet seemed pristine, making the term a giant contradiction.

All Hatanaka could say was, "Holy s**t."

The sight was beautiful. He radioed to base: "Indiana, this is Broken Spoon. We have something. Something big."

He proceeded to land, and donned HAZMAT gear and a laspistol before exiting the craft. HE got out, and the surroundings looked very beautiful.......

The world was covered by many strange plants and flowers of the Eternals that had surviived so long due to the nature the Eternals had done to preserve the enviroments the Eternals had settled in ancient times. This world also had beautiful light from the jewels long ago crafted by the hands of skilled gifted hands of Eternal craftsmen and molded with Eternal technology. In every world the Eternals had tried to reproduce their paradise world with great, but not complete, sucess.

In every world the Eternals had tried to reproduce their paradise world with great, but not complete, sucess.

Hatanaka noted this well; he was frantically recording everything. The team was amazed, this world was like the Eden of old, what with the flowers, jewels, and other stuff left behind. They wandered around, gathering samples and observing everything.

One team member said, "Hey boss! Come here!"

Hatanaka rushed forth. A particularly magnificent stone, a title not given easily since there was plenty of that here, was shown to him. He gave it the once-over and said, "Catalog it. Damn, that's pretty. Anything about it?"

THe man said, "Well, its big, and pretty. I still gotta do indepth work, though."

Hatanaka said, "Get to it, man."

He walked all over. Everywhere, the team fanned out, maintaining radio contact. They took samples, taking care not to destroy anything and ruin the beauty of this place. They were especially intrigued by the shiny metals they found here; after all these years, they didn't rust. How did that happen? And what was with these plants?

This was gonna be a fun study....

In the sky strange driods of remarkable design and extremly advanced technolgoical make up were observing the group, but made no hostile response and only looked down sending signals to the main computer so as to know the proper responses.

Hatanaka and his men looked up; they saw the droids, and they were scared. A few raised lasguns, but Hatanaka told them to stand down.....

As this occured, his team was finding more and more things; more and more questions came about. Who were these guys? And why did their civilization die out?

They began moving toward the center of town. Some stayed to set up camp, and radioed for more men to come down. They took care not to alert the Red Army; though far away from anybody friendly, Shinseki's boys were infamous for stealing their research and taking the credit.

One inscription read in an tongue understanble to some of them read," Eternals dwelt upon this world for untold millions of years during the Golden Age of the Eternals. Still the Eternals dwell in their home galaxies and the surrounding galacies and they shall dwell their into the time of the rewal of the Eternals."

Still the Eternals dwell in their home galaxies and the surrounding galacies and they shall dwell their into the time of the rewal of the Eternals."

One man saw the inscription; he called Hatanaka over. Hatanaka, stymied by the text, brought over his chief linguist to translate.

The linguist read the text out loud.....and its meaning was clear. The good folks who made this citadel called themselves the "Eternals," and were alive and well; albeit weakened, probably by some kind of catastrophe.

Still......the meaning of that last part, the "renewal of the Eternals," was unclear. And, who were these Eternals? Finding them would be much easier, now that their continued existence was confirmed. But there was that off chance they may have been wiped out after this message was written, or reduced to a primitive state, as was the fate of many civilizations in Latin America during the Spanish conquest. They could never be too sure.

There was a flash of light, and a sleek, silver frigate slid out of the Warp. It cruised along, vaporising stray asteroids.

On the bridge, there was considerable consternation. "Lieutenant, what just happened?" Captain Aelion asked.

"Sir, it appears that our warp has gone off course, and we are now in unkown space," the Lieutenant said, wincing. "However, there is a planet nearby, it seems habitable, we could renew supplies there."

"Very well, Lieutenant, take us into orbit. Prepare a team to go down."

The team kept moving, they tagged the inscription and took pictures. They pushed to the center; hoping to find more interesting artifacts.

Meanwhile, the team that had been camped out had determined that the metal was something new to them. It didn't rust, otherwise the city wouldn't have survived. The metal was something else; they called it "Stalinite," unaware it already had a name. They admired its durability, and its wonders.....

Also, more men came from the Indiana Jones. A full company of officers moved in, to study the area further. They decided to perform subterranian scans to determine what was udner the surface, and they brought more equipment to analyze the gems.....

The Eternals' droids kept watch on them and seeing the ships coming for supplies the central computer upon the planet that was still active sent an order to the driods to gather some food for the travelers.

Meanwhile upon the planet the already the central cpmputer was begging to consider to reveal itself to the explorers upon the world already, but felt that it should continue to oberve them for a longer period of time.

Meanwhile upon the planet the already the central cpmputer was begging to consider to reveal itself to the explorers upon the world already, but felt that it should continue to oberve them for a longer period of time.

The crew finally approached the city center, encountering the area with the seal marked: "Amvera Eternia mersa hermiana lingaera justa wenarir hansia menasea kinakea omoian queria."

Hatanaka ordered his men to begin trying to figure out what the seal meant.

In the meantime, the subterranian scans showed rich deposits of minerals beneath the surface. Also, some of the other research indicated that the plants and other materials were safe for human consumption-just as well, the people were getting hungry, and sick of teriyaki rations.

Some of them tried to eat the plants, and succeeded. They tasted good! The others were told of these things, they ate well that day. A few others went into a wide area, and began to dig, trying not to interfere with the surroundings too much, to get the metals beneath....

The Eternat driods were scanning their activites and deemed that their actions were alright as long as they didn't begin to strip mine the land. Also the seal upon the door gittering with many of the fine gems of the Eternals wouldn't reveal it's secrets unless translated by those who sought to gain admittance inside of the structure. Within the vast Eternat city some of the driods were still active performing minor tasks and driods.

Within the vast Eternat city some of the driods were still active performing minor tasks and driods.

Well, Hatanaka sought to get inside the structure. So, he and his men pooled their linguistic talent to try and figure out what the heck it meant.

A few of the others surveying the city noticed the droids, and began documenting them. They creeped some of the men out, but they fascinated the others. A few even tried to make contact with them.

As for the miners, they tried not to screw anything up when they drilled undergroud. They dug a 1000m shaft, and soon had men rappel down into it, to begin harvesting samples.

Deep underground they found one of the base compents of the Eteranl they called 'Stalinate' and also some of the gems used to make the beautiful and ancient Eternal gems.

The driods ingnored them becasue a driod only listened and responded to an Eternal and the central computer of the city. Though the driods took into consdieration not to hit or harm any of them.

The miners took the opportunity to lift the samples to the surface. Indeed, the tests would need to confirm it, but they looked to be something significant, both the metal and the gems.

The others who tried to communicate eventually broke off communications with the droids, and went back to work, gathering samples.

Hatanaka continued to try and analyze the seal.....

The central computer of the city sent at least a battlion of battle droids to meet the explorers and when they arrived one of the driods said," Welcome thee mortals to the world of the Eternals. What is your business upon this world?"

Hatanaka lept up when the droid addressed him. He got up and said, "I am Professor Hatanaka from the University of California, Los Angeles. I am an archaeologist. I discovered this world, as I was looking for my own people, and a way home. I decided to stay and investigate. I must say, your masters have crafted quite a city here."

"Welcome Professore and thank you for complimenting our ancient makers. This world was forged many many billion of years by the hands of the Eternals and left this world for a time and they shall come again within the near future."

"Welcome Professore and thank you for complimenting our ancient makers. This world was forged many many billion of years by the hands of the Eternals and left this world for a time and they shall come again within the near future."

Hatanaka said to the entity, "You mean, your makers are still spacefaring? Do you have contact with them?"

The question was a formality, he knew that there was that strong chance that whoever made this machine, they'd be back soon. Obviously, something this advanced had to have had comms with its makers....

Meanwhile, comparative analysis of the Stalinite and the metal found at the dig site confirmed that the two materials were related; indeed, the material seemed to be a critical component of it.

"The Eternals who you call 'the makers' are out there they do not make contact with us often just to check if we are stable or need any repairs that can be done by an Eternal. Their return shall soon come as they already have resetlled a world of theirs' again very recently and have inhabitied it with people who were invited to dwell upon it."

Their return shall soon come as they already have resetlled a world of theirs' again very recently and have inhabitied it with people who were invited to dwell upon it."

Hatanaka knew it. This entity's master was still existent.

He then asked, "Do you think you can help us with something? We have been trying to decipher this writing on the seal here....."

His voice trailed off, he hope the machine got what he meant by that.

----------------

The other team members had been gathering food, using their rudimentary knowledge of what was edible or not, from their studies. They did it in a way that wouldn't mar the beauty of the place, but they needed food. They soon set up camp, and rested, to have a meal.

The machine for a few seconds scanned it vast archives of infromation and then responded," It translates into the more common tongue basically it says that it may be opened by none sabe one of pure and true Eternal blood and all otheres who try to open it will be denied access into an Eternal opens it."

Hatanaka said, "Hmmm...interesting..."

He concealed his feelings, which were those of dissapointment. He wanted to open the seal, maybe find out what the heck was inside. Alas, it was for naught.

--------------------

The team ate well, they found the native plants to be quite tasty when fried tempura-style, which was what the team's cook insisted on doing. As for drinks, they had plenty of Kool-Aid, cherry-flavored, they'd been living off the stuff for the past several months, so it was getting pretty boring. But the local water made it taste better somehow.

They noticed the buildings...they'd study those later. Some opted to catch some z's, others opted to stay on watch, play some guitar or doodle or relax.

"The seal will be opened soon after the coming of the Eternals to this world again which shall occur before the week's ending."

"The seal will be opened soon after the coming of the Eternals to this world again which shall occur before the week's ending."

Hatanaka now got nervous. Did this mean he had to clear out? He asked the entity this, saying, "Does this mean we have to leave your world?"

he then pooped his pants :sniper:

The machine asnwered," Nay, you do not have to leave this world they actually would perfer to have you here when they arrive again as they would prefer the company."

The machine asnwered," Nay, you do not have to leave this world they actually would perfer to have you here when they arrive again as they would prefer the company."

Hatanaka breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thanks. Speak the truth, it's awfully pretty here. Maybe we could share this world."

He then asked, "One thing, though. Can you help me contact my comrades in New Dornalia? Our attempts have been met with...failure."

The machine produced a fairly small communication device and then said," Thid device should well be able to do that objective."

The machine produced a fairly small communication device and then said," Thid device should well be able to do that objective."

Hatanaka took it and said, "Thanks."

He turned it on.....the controls were quite simple, so he was able to establish contact with the New Dornalian Government forces in the New Territories.

He said, "All friendly forces, this is Professor John Hatanaka, with the UCLA Indiana Jones. I have discovered an unknown planet. Need to reestablish contact. Send somebody NOT from the Red Army. Over."

-----------

The message reached a Mao Zedong IIa ship on patrol, the NDS Richard Hunter. The captain of the Hunter said, "Where's that signal coming from?"

The crewman pointed out the coordinates. The Hunter jumped to them as fast as she could.....

Above the world many ships of the Eternal bore the Eternal back to the world and down in a beam of light came an Eternal to talk to the proffesor and then looking at him said," Welcome mortal to this ancient world of the Eternals."

Hatanaka got up, bowing and saying, "Good day, sir. How are you?"

------------

Meanwhile, the Hunter got to the world, only to see the massive wave of Eternal ships. They feared the worst.....they held their positions carefully and began sending a team of Naval Infantry to meet with the UCLA team.

"Fine. Have you enjoyed this world so far?"

"Fine. Have you enjoyed this world so far?"

Hatanaka said, "Why yes! It is quite lovely. I must say, you guys have quite a place here....the metals, the very good food, heck everything! It's a veritable wonderland!"

---------

The Naval Infantry team met with the UCALers, who explained the situation. The Naval Infantry radioed back to the Hunter, saying everything was alright, and that they would go find Hatanaka....which they soon did, moving towards his position, as indicated by the message.

They found him and the Eternals talking and said, "Professor?"

Hatanaka turned and said, "Yes?"

One of the infantrymen got up and said, "I am Cpl. Bronstein, Naval Infantry. You UCLA boys okay?"

Hatanaka said, "Yes....here, I'd like to introduce you to...."

He then turned to the Eternal, saying, "Say, I never got your name. What was it?"

The Eternal answered," My anme in your tongue would be Lord Fernima."

The Eternal answered," My anme in your tongue would be Lord Fernima."

Hatanaka said, "...Lord Fernima. Cpl. Bronstein, Fernima."

Bronstein bowed, and extended his hand out, saying, "Your Highness, I am Corporal Karl Bronstein, People's Navy Infantry Corps. In the name of the People, I bid you peace."

The Eternal answered," There is no need for such graciounous, but you will is well aperricated and as well it is noted of your humblness."

The Eternal answered," There is no need for such graciounous, but you will is well aperricated and as well it is noted of your humblness."

Cpl. Bronstein said, "Thank you, sir," before saluting and doing an about-face, walking away slowly.

Hatanaka shrugged at the sight, and simply went on to say, "Well, anyway, I was thinking, I'm no politician, but I think that, considering your offer, joint control of the planet is a possibility. How's that sound? We promise not to make anything too messy."

OOC: To say for my abesncace I was on vaction.

The Eternal Lord bowed his head in answer and then said," Your offer is agreeded to save that you should develop your own settlements upno this world and only come to this city in great numbers on special events."

The Eternal Lord bowed his head in answer and then said," Your offer is agreeded to save that you should develop your own settlements upno this world and only come to this city in great numbers on special events."

Hatanaka said, "Very well, I can do that."

He then bowed and extended his hand, saying, "Wanna close the deal with a handshake?"

The Eternal looked a little suprised by it, but still he extended his hand out willing and said," Alright, then we shall shall seal the deal with a 'handshake'."

The Eternal looked a little suprised by it, but still he extended his hand out willing and said," Alright, then we shall shall seal the deal with a 'handshake'."

Hatanaka shook Fernima's hand, saying, "Forgive me if this seems to be a little sudden, but, well, I wanted to confirm the deal, and this is an old custom in my neck of the woods to do such a thing, so I put two and two together."

The Eternal replied," You may settle anywhere on the planet save the Eternal city and also you cannot strip mine on this planet."

The Eternal replied," You may settle anywhere on the planet save the Eternal city and also you cannot strip mine on this planet."

Hatanaka said, "Well, that was part of the deal. Sure. Besides, we found more efficient ways that don't leave, well, unsightly toxic messes."

The Eternal answered," Good, you may start settling this world when ever you desire to."

Hatanaka said, "Very well, I will tell my government to come on down."

He then called Bronstein over, and told him everything. Bronstein said, "Understood. Will do."

He then contacted the New Dornalian authorities, and informed them of the agreement. There was a steady flow of, "Roger," and "Got it," before he hung up and said, "High Command says we're to stay as a permanent guard. They'll work the right levers, and clear the area for settlement soon."

Hatanaka said, "Thanks, Corporal."

Lord Fernima asked," Where and why are you to stay as permanent guards?"

Lord Fernima asked," Where and why are you to stay as permanent guards?"

Bronstein said, "High Command said it is to confirm our presence on this world, and to defend it from attackers. We'll be in an orbital station."

Noticing Fernima's hesitance, Bronstein then said, "If it's any consolation, we're not going to be a bother, there won't be too many of us, say 500 at most. You could talk to my supervisors, if you have any issues."

He responded," That is apporiate."

The Eternal Lord was silent for a minute in contemplation then he said," How many colonists are you planning to send to this world."

The Eternal Lord was silent for a minute in contemplation then he said," How many colonists are you planning to send to this world."

Bronstein said, "Well, it depends. How much are you willing to take?"

Lord Fernima answered," We are willing to take three and half billion settlers upon this world."

Lord Fernima answered," We are willing to take three and half billion settlers upon this world."

Bronstein said, "Very well. I will inform my superiors."

And Bronstein did just that.....

OOC: Sorry for crappy post, have to go soon.

The Eternal waited for the answer for the answer of Bronstein's superiors.

The Eternal waited for the answer for the answer of Bronstein's superiors.

Bronstein replied, "They'll agree to the limit of three and a half billion. And they promise not to make too much of a mess on the way down."

Lord Fermina replied," We thank you for expecting our conditions and also for agreeing not to voliate thus beautiful and glorious planet. So when do the first settlers arrive?"

Lord Fermina replied," We thank you for expecting our conditions and also for agreeing not to voliate thus beautiful and glorious planet. So when do the first settlers arrive?"

Bronstein said, "If the Red Army doesn't complain and if things go well, six weeks."

The Eternal replied," The Red Army will Not be allowed to use this world for it's technological secrets as only Eternals or those they willl can access them successfully."

The Eternal replied," The Red Army will Not be allowed to use this world for it's technological secrets as only Eternals or those they willl can access them successfully."

Bronstein said, "Just as well. Our services get along, but sometimes, those dogfaces freak us out. Anyway, we'll respect that clause."

The Eternal Lord responded," Alright then, for now make yourselves at home and be welcome to explore the whole of the city if you will and also be free to wander the entire planet."

The Eternal Lord responded," Alright then, for now make yourselves at home and be welcome to explore the whole of the city if you will and also be free to wander the entire planet."

Bronstein said, "Thank you, your Highness."

Meanwhile, the UCLA team and the other Naval Infantry wandered around, enjoying the majesty of the planet...

OOC: Last post, sleep.

Lord Fermina said," Farewell, for now I have another errands to attend too."

With that he was carried off by a beam of light.

Hatanaka and his team went back to analyzing the mineral samples they had found. As Hatanaka and his team were mainly archeaologists, they had to rely on People's Navy Tech Seargants and other UCLA Team members that had the needed experience to figure this stuff out.

It seemed that the Navy in particular, not just the UCLA team, was taking a keen interest in the metals and minerals found here. With communications opened between the People's Navy and the Planetside forces, a platform was deployed to represent the New Dornalian Presence in the area, and more scientists flowed in to study the fascinating life and minerals within. Meanwhile, 500 men and two Mao Zedong IIa's were placed on the platform, the rest were returned to their ships and left the area....

Meanwhile in the city the Eternals placed an energy field around the city preventing any unwanted access from the miltary. Also the Eternals' driods began protarralling the planet as it's ploice force.

The Navy, sure enough, stayed where it was, not bothering the Eternals. Meanwhile, the UCLA team and the Naval researchers continued their studies......and began shipping samples back to the Workers State. Apparently, the materials found here were in demand.

An large Eternal driod patrol arrivied at one of the mining sites alarmed at the loss of minerals in it at such a rapid rate. There they also had been sent to make any banned forms of mining upon the planet were going on.

Sure enough, no banned forms of mining were going on, but the New Dornalians were concerned by the arrival of the Eternal droids. The foreman said, "Sorry about that. We're not stripping the place, but we'll slow up a bit, alright?"

The Eternal driod answered in an alramingly sentient voice," Then we thank you and apologize for disturbing you and your operation. Have a pleasent day."

The Eternal driod answered in an alramingly sentient voice," Then we thank you and apologize for disturbing you and your operation. Have a pleasent day."

The foreman said, "You too," before going back to work.

Inevitably, word got around that the Eternal droid paid the miners a visit. Needless to say, everybody was a little nervous after that, and a consensus was reached that the pace of mining had to slow up.

The Eternal factories on the planet after that day flared back into production producing great and mighty ships and millions of driods that were being sent beyond the galaxt to prepare for an far off war.

The People's Navy Station in orbit noted these movements....they seemed alarming, but they didn't go near the Workers State so they didn't do much for now.

Meanwhile, colonists began arriving to set up shop.....

OOC: Sorry I had lost this thread.

The Eternal craftsmen in the city had begun forge hand made Eternal gems of amazing quality surpassing the finest natural ones by the Eternals had begun giving out a third of these to the colonists.

The gems soon caught the attention of collectors and scientists alike, who flocked to the world to begin purchasing the beautiful stones for experiments or their art collections. Soon, a thriving auction house emerged in the largest settlement, Trotskygrad, where enthusiasts of all kinds lined up to buy the stones. A few other gem trading houses emerged, these being very competitive. After all, only a few of the gems the Eternals made trickled in at a time......

The Eternals were quite happy by the use and happiness of the people so the Eternals began to create far more and sent doubled the amount of stones be given to the people.

The Eternals were quite happy by the use and happiness of the people so the Eternals began to create far more and sent doubled the amount of stones be given to the people.

The expanded flow reduced the amount of competition in the Trotskygrad Colony, but still, competition remained. The stones themselves were analyzed, they were indeed some of the finest ever seen by the New Dornalians.

The Eternals then stopped the flow of the jewels entirely as they had begun to ornate their city further with them and sparkled the streets of the city with their dust. The city's shiled prevented them from blowing and their dust was unharmful to everyone.

The gem trading houses soon wondered where the gems went, and many began going bust.....

A few persons were curious to know about the Eternal Faith, and sent letters to the Eternals, asking to know more.

The Eternals then began a very thin trickle of gems back enough to just get the business started agian. Also the Eternals sent letters that a small branch of the Eternals had begun spreading the chance for Eternal life to the most faithful and that the Eternals were gods, but that most Eternals were not part of the leadership or member of that branch.

Those interested replied and thanked the Eternals for the info.

Also, the gem houses were thankful that a small portion of the gem trade could be restarted. However, in order to compensate for the shock, many tried thier hand at mining or other trading types. Still, about two or three major houses remained that dealt with the trade.

In order to try to restart the gem houses the Eternals sent new kinds of shining jewels that were both beautiful, but also shone a brillant shades of blue, red, white, purple, orange, and silver.

The gem houses thanked the Eternals, and wrote them a letter collectively, saying: "Thank you, good sirs."

The Eternals responded by sending them an even greater annual supply of gems.

The Eternals began to include a small steady supply of Eternal rings and necklaces as well.

The Eternals began to include a small steady supply of Eternal rings and necklaces as well.

Appraised by gem collectors and jewelers, many of these items are found to be of high value. Art museums take the opportunity to purchase a few for their exhibits, and anthropological institutions take possession of a few as well.

In exchange, New Dornalian citizens begin to offer exquisite artworks of their own to the Eternals. Communist propaganda, manga, finely cut gemstones, and other works of fine art are offered to them in exchange for their generosity.

The Eternals responded" We give our gifts freely. We need not wealth as we have great enough wealth as it is. Communist propaganda we do not desire for we know well enough about commnusion. Your people's offer is greatly appericated as result we shall teach you much on how to imporve your peoples helath and increase their lifespans. We however desire knowledge on your account of your nations hisotry and knowledge of your peoples through your own eyes."

The Eternals in the city though except paintings as they display them in their homes as decorations and to examine the culture and ideas of the people how made them.

The Governor of Trotskygrad, the New Dornalian Colony, replied that he was grateful for the offer, and accepted. He then offered the history of New Dornalia:

History-

OOC: This is an alternate universe Earth, BTW. That incident with the Norweigian Rocket really did happen though-the Russians nearly nuked the planet until they managed to sort things out.

IC:


It all began with the Apocalypse.

In the year 1995, the US and the USSR went to war. The Russians, mistaking a Norweigian test rocket for a nuke, launched the long-feared blitz of West Germany in retaliation, igniting the War to Truly End All Wars.

When it was over in a matter of months, the world was in ruins. Large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia were turned into nuclear wastelands. Zombies, mutants, and horrors began to emerge. Nazis, Rogue Generals, ganglords, cultists, angry clans, and all those with guns and men to spare went to war in an orgy of death, to see who would emerge as the king of this new Hell.

In this atmosphere, a group of anime fans, college leftists, gun nuts, gangbangers, and kung-fu enthusiasts emerged to rule Long Beach, California. Led by a charismatic leader named Jack Leung, he took the name of an old manga he was drawing himself, the "Adventures in Dornalia," and used it to name his nation "Dornalia," which lorded over all of Long Beach. He soon began a bloody war of expansion, fighting the Crips/Bloods, the LAPD, and the remnants of the California National Guard and the Church of Scientology to lord over all of LA County. He consolidated his hold, and established a bizarre, dictatorial regime, where he named himself as King.

He embraced progressive measures, ruling over his city state like a benevolent despot. However, absolute power soon corrupted Jack, and he began to abuse his powers, supping well as others starved and killing all who resisted. He even began to embrace Nazism, modeling his armed forces after the Waffen SS and keeping an iron grip over the people.

By 2035, his state had grown by leaps and bounds, ruling over much of the West. However, it was poor, and on the verge of bankruptcy, morally and finacially. LA began to resemble the LA of Blade Runner-grimy, dark, and full of sin.

Soon, a change would emerge.

In 2050, a group of radicals met to form the Comrades Society. Drawing upon Marxist-Leninist and Maoist ideals, they vowed to kill the King, currently King Jack II, and establish a fair, equitable government.

Soon, the King was faced with a massive insurgency, as terrorism and urban resistance akin to the IRA of the 1970's thundered across the West. In addition, the Mormon Union began a push south and west, expelling the Dornalians from Nevada and Arizona, and Elven tribes, expelled from the Upper Midwest by the Mormons, moved into Washington and Oregon, clashing with the Dornalians successfully on many occasions.

The result was a violent revolution, which resulted in the overthrow of the monarchy and the creation of the Dornalian Republic. But, like many revolutions, it turned sour. Infighting between Leninists and Maoists soon crippled the new government, and foreign invaders nearly wiped Dornalia off the map.

However, the Leninists soon emerged victorious, and conducted a masterful defense under the command of General Shimura, a great hero in New Dornalian history. His actions at San Bernardino, Fresno, and Lake Tahoe stopped invaders, and kept the nation solvent.

With the enemy kept at bay, for now, the Leninists began to consolidate their rule. Under their guidance, oppression remained. However, the standard of living rose genuinely, and many were definetly better off than under the monarchy. Under the stewardship of General Shimura, who became Premier, the First Constitution was made, giving New Dornalians (the "New" was added to symbolize a distance from the old, hated monarchy) a semblance of democracy and some rights. The Patriotic Church emerged, its creed written out as a pastiche of Communist lore and government attempts to get the people in line by embracing a moral creed. Trade flourished, scientists worked to get our understanding of technology back to what it was before the Apocalypse with success (teams of Scavengers, or commandos commissioned by the Commissariat of Science, were sent to find examples of pre-Apocalypse tech and old documents/software of any kind) and it seemed that the nation was doing just fine!

But, oppression remained. So did war; the Shimura regime saw near constant war with Mormons, Abhumans, and Navajo Indians. By 2090, New Dornalia had experienced almost 500 wars of varying size and shape, ranging from failed expeditions to Oregon, to brushfire wars in the Sierra Nevadas, to small-scale skirmishes.

Now, it was time for a change.....it was now 2156, and a new Premier, Robert MacIntyre was commissioned. He had a more liberal agenda.......

...which showed, as he repudiated the old regime's policies. He established a concrete Bill of Rights, a new constitution that provided fro a real democracy, and he worked to create Restrained Capitalism, New Dornalia's present system of economics.

He also worked to increase funding for pure sciences, and began to encourage New Dornalians to use science and diplomacy to try and solve problems. This resutled in treaties with nations as far away as Japan and South Africa, which greatly benefited the Workers State with goods and supplies.

By now, the Commissariat for Science had sent out several space probes. The result was first contact, on March 24th, a day still celebrated. This soon led to what was dubbed the "Soviet Renaissance," a burst of technological innovation and space exploration. The Che Guevara Space Station was made, mechas were introduced into military service, and Jedi were recruited.

However, the event that really put New Dornalia into the bigtime was the colonization of New Star City and New Leningrad in 2161, no mean feat for a nation a small as New Dornalia at the time. The acquistion of an Eclipse Star Destroyer and seven colony ship from Kyanges added to New Dornalia's race to the top, as this led to the creation of stronger ships that could compete with other nations, and much needed improvements. It also led to the creation of Mobile Suits, which are now the pride and joy of New Dornalia, as well as indegenous fighter designs, as well.

However, the matter of Earth still remained. The Treaty of Los Angeles was signed on June 26th, 2164 in a masterful example of gunboat diplomacy at its best (or worst; the whole of Alpha Fleet, 15 Zaitsev Imperial Star Destroyers and 20 Mao Zedong II Battleships, was aimed at Earth, to persuade other nations at a conference to agree). This treaty unified Earth-an accomplishment that Lenin and Mao could only dream about.

Now, as New Dornalia enters the stars, having colonized six new planets, colonized an entire array of systems, and having created new technological wonders with the help of other nations, and having won a war against the United Mankind, the Workers State looks to the Future...

Culture-

The People of ND are raised, technically from a Post-Apocalyptic situation; hence the Abhumans. As such, many forms of modern pop culture, such as anime, Star Wars, etc., are seen as simple myths and folktales, and cherished. Rock and roll could be called the national music, though blues and R&B/Soul have a huge following too.

Also, years of Communist indoctrination have given the People an inbred distrust of royalty and big business, and other practices they see as "capitalist (a perjorative)," such as Christianity (it was only with the MacIntyre Administration that Freedom of Religion was instituted; he himself was a Baptist) or addressing persons as "sir" or "ma'am," as "Citizen" or "Comrade" is often a common form of address. Many can quote old Communist texts, and many are devout, religiously and Socialistically. Law and order is a desired virtue; indeed, many support the broad powers of the Internal Security Bureau (though it has been softened and restrained in recent years by Premierist and Politburo action). Progressive "nanny state" measures like welfare and national health are favored, and generally, the attitude of the people is that big government that works for the people in a contract relationship (it gives them plenty of goodies, they fight for it and pay it taxes) is good.

However, in a contradictory turn of events, many embrace the idea of small business and medium business. This has led to a form of "Restrained Capitalism" featured in the MacIntyre Administration; which allows for large corporations to exist, but puts them under control of Worker's Committees (OOC: Credit goes to Communist Louisiana, and some RL Chinese companies for this concept) or the direct command of the government, while leaving medium and small businesses unimpeded, but watched. Closed shops where people must join unions are mandatory, and only recently have businessmen been allowed to join the Party. Guns are also cherished and tolerated; this is again due to the necessity of a post-Apocalyptic landscape. In fact, citizens are even required to own a firearm and are required to be proficent in it; this is a duty which many surprisingly enjoy.

Abhumans occupy a unique place in society, and not a happy one. Their lot is equivalent to Black Americans or Northern Irish Catholics, especially the "Neckers," which thanks to continous warfare in the early days of the WSND, were and are still treated like different persons, often recieving discrimination in housing and jobs and being stereotyped in everyday media in a way similar to Native Americans and Asian women (the "Suzie Wong") in the 1950's. Elves actually have it a bit easier, but are still mocked as "pretty boys" and "Spocks." Things are getting better, as Abhumans have banded together using legal action.

Catpeople do not have standard last names; in lieu of this, the mother's first name and the suffix "Chibi" is affixed. This is the equivalent of old Scandanvian names liked "Carlsson," which mean "Son of Carl;" a name like "Linda-chibi" means "Child of Linda." Catpeople, meanwhile, come from all over (ex. Mexican-American and Asian-American descended tribes in the Western Old US, Turkish and German tribes in Eastern Germany); but they all generally have elements of Japanese culture in every tribe; a pattern that demands further research.

Elves use standard last names, as many Elves came from populations of West-Central European descent, predominately Dutch and German (large numbers of Elves exist in or are descended from populations in Midwest North America, South Africa (Boers), the Netherlands, Germany, Scandanavia, and Celtic areas like Scotland and Ireland), many will have names of these sort; for example, particularly well known Elven surnames are "ten Boom," "Kruger," "van der Roon," "Stuyvesant," "Botha," "Larsen," "Christensen," "Becker," "Olsen," "Mackay," "O'Connell," "MacClanathan," and "Menzies."

New Dornalians are also eager to embrace science, if not necessarily new ideas, an ideal formed from necessity in a post-Apocalyptic world. As a result, a new wave of scientific integration and innovation has occured, and has impacted society. Many New Dornalians cherish old timey things and will often follow the way of "waste not want not," but get a new shiny car in their face or give them a new computer and they'll go for it.

Sports in New Dornalia are relatively primitive compared to other civilizations. Sportshooting, boxing, kendo, kung fu, and soccer are relatively popular. In addition, the rise of Mobile Suits has led to private and government attempts to begin some kind of Mobile Suit Tournament, akin to G Gundam or Battlebots

Addendi:
New Dornalians love gambling (represented in a flourishing casino business in Las Vegas, New England and France/Monaco), a thriving government-controlled prostitution business exists (where prostitutes are required to come in for physicals every month and are required to pay a cut of their earnings to the government, in exchange for very clean and comfortable "working areas."), and a pervading sense of "anime asthetics," which inflects all parts of art and society with an anime-style look, exists as well.

OOC: Good history.

The Eternals were thankful for the information and as promised they revealed to the New Dornalians the ways of gaining far longer lives by multiplying their live spans by three times and gave them vials serum to cure all natural diseases and viruses that afflicted them.

OOC: Hope you do not see this as godmodding just felt like improving your nation's health in order to increase overall morale after the war you were in.

OOC: Considering I intervened too late in the recent Neo Zeta- Detharion War, I might need this stuff anyway. Thanks!

IC:

The Governor was impressed, but a tad skeptical. He inquired respectfully as to how exactly the extension of lifespans and the curing of disease would occur.

The Eternals sent this message through hologram to him:
"It works on the genetic level reprogramming cells in a way as to not let in viruses and disease afflicts them by sealing off cells to them and immune to their effects. As well these increases your life expectancy up to three fold already as well we have inflicted in the serum the ability to stop the ageing of the cells four fold."

The Governor replied that this sounded quite good, and the benefits could be massive, but some proof was needed.

WNI TEMPORAL EXPLORATOR LOG: DAEDALUS:\\TEMPORALNODE:TEMP:QUATERNARYLINE234.5543.43.2.2.2

"This is the Explorator log of the Temporal Exploratory Starship 'Soren Kirkegaard' in the exploration of primitive system 011276. Inital scans indicate the presence of powerful energy signatures indicating possible presence of others. We recently recieved orders from above to establish a colony on this damned planet. Some kind of interest in the primitive technologies of those damned eternals. Must be big though. One of the Pre-Universals zapped in on the TempTrans network, and brought a Class-C colony pod. Damned thing filled up the cargo hold, nearly 500 metres in diameter! Whatever. The pod's being lauched soon, after a grey-goo attack on an areaa kilometer wide. I love those nanos. Time to launch them."
---10 minutes later---

An area of the surface of the planet, 1 kilometer in diameter was cleared, nothing left but the grey goo that is the hallmark of the Pre-Universal Mk. XVIII 'Ecosystem Supremacy Device'. With the completion of their task, the nanobots simply released an EMP intot heir delicate internal circuitry, and 'died'.
Next to go was the colony pod. A walled tow, complete with 75 colonists in chryogenic storage that would crash into the surface and fold out, reviving the colonists within. One of them was special. he was a Pre-Universal. Billions of years old, and one of 200 in this Universe, Psi-667 was given the task of investigating the site of an old Eternal City that Re had been watching since the dawn of Eternal existence.

New Dornalia:
The Eternals sent a vial of the serum to the colonial goverment of the planet that and a bug designed espcially to be given the serum as proof of the serum's powers.

Ankhmet:
A message was sent to the colony:
"You think we are primitive when you claim to be the highest form of life the Eldest One of our race as being both an Eternal and part of the mind of Highest One he predate this dimension of existence. Yet we reconoginize that you are an older race and shall be respected as shall. Feel free to send one person into the city of the Eternals and they shall be weclomed as an guest and as an friend."

New Dornalia:
The Eternals sent a vial of the serum to the colonial goverment of the planet that and a bug designed espcially to be given the serum as proof of the serum's powers.


The serum was taken to the UCLA research post, where it was administered on the bug. The tests showed that indeed, the Eternals were not joking. The vaccine, studied over days, revealed the promised results.

A letter was sent to the Eternals, confirming the good results and requesting more samples for human and alien experimentation.

The Eternals sent 120 vials of serum enough for 120 people for the experminets to be conducted by the scientists of New Dornalia.

Also the Eternals opened up there city to the colonists once every month when the sun was out for the entire length of the day and followed by a day of total darkness.

OOC: Dang this is a major posting time for alot of people.

Also the Eternals opened up there city to the colonists once every month when the sun was out for the entire length of the day and followed by a day of total darkness.

The UCLA research team recieved the serum, and conducted tests on volunteers. The Commissariat of Science, seeing the nature of this project, got involved, and began observing the experiments as they went on. They seemed to do pretty well for themselves, as people were observed to have slower aging, and all of the other promised benefits.....

Every disease and virus to enter their syestem was neaturalized and destroyed as well they also prevented bodily disformations such as pimples and scars.

The UCLA and Commissariat Scientists were surprised and amazed by these developments. The head of the Commissariat sent a letter to the Eternals thanking them for allowing the New Dornalians to conduct the tests, and then he asked permission for more of this serum......

In response the Eternals shipped another 100,000,000 vials of serum to the New Dornalian colonial goverment on the planet with their regards to them and the hope the serum greatly helps them.

The serum was distributed to the populace, who reported feeling better within days, even hours of taking it....

Aging was being slowed within hours and scars and weak illnesses were cured within hours of taking the serum.

Aging was being slowed within hours and scars and weak illnesses were cured within hours of taking the serum.

The Governor and the Commissariat for Science were soon wiring mail to the Eternals, asking for permission to produce the "miracle" serum.

The Eternals responded," We are sorry, but we cannot let as we fear that if you begin to produce it may become flawed due to your less adavanced technologies and if that happened the serum may have server effects on people."

The Eternals responded," We are sorry, but we cannot let as we fear that if you begin to produce it may become flawed due to your less adavanced technologies and if that happened the serum may have server effects on people."

The Commissariat of Science wired back "Perhaps we could get some aid in developing our medical technologies then? Or perhaps some kind of collaborative project?"

The Eternals answered," Your people truly fear death we see. Do you wish for us to tell you what happens when you die?"

The Eternals answered," Your people truly fear death we see. Do you wish for us to tell you what happens when you die?"

A Patriotic Church priest says: "We are integrated into the Great People's Will, the driving force behind all life and achievement."

The Eternals replied," You think that is truly isn't it? No, that is only one of it's many covers and bneath our incrediably deep and profound mysteries the Eternals offer to reveal to you and your people."

The Eternals replied," You think that is truly isn't it? No, that is only one of it's many covers and bneath our incrediably deep and profound mysteries the Eternals offer to reveal to you and your people."

This piqued the interest of a good many people from all over....the Patriotic Church replied, "Very well then, show us."

The Eternals then using there powers brought them minds of the Church leaders who were intrested spirits to the Eternal home world. There they witnessed the world in all it's glory, beuaty, and bliss. The silver and gold towers of the Eternals crowned with a roff of percios stones. The streets made of crystal.

The Churchmen were amazed.....they thought that this was the proverbial Paradise. Some sects of the Church believed that those who served the People well would go to this place, where they would live in harmony and eternal peace forever, like St. Marx proposed. (OOC: Marx didn't do this, but these guys did create their faith after an apocalypse, so....)

THe head of the delegation, Commissar Fedorov, said, "Peace be unto you. You have shown us many wonders, good sir. Sts. Mao and Kalashnikov would be pleased!"

The Eternals answered," The Eternals created this world on this plane of esixtenxe what does this say to you and your church?"

OOC: I get the deal about your church and their founding afte an apocalypse also though your nation seems pretty communist I am glad to see that is genrally a basis society more so then real China.

OOC: I get the deal about your church and their founding afte an apocalypse also though your nation seems pretty communist I am glad to see that is genrally a basis society more so then real China.

The Commissar began to quake. He couldn't believe this! Capitalists, infidels, had made Paradise! He began to question his faith for a brief moment, then shook his head and said, "Well, our church has the moral advantage! Surely, no acheivement of this magnitude was possible without the blood, sweat and tears of the Workers and Peasants, whom you surely exploited to get this far!"

Of course, he was dead wrong.

The Eternals answered," The labours of our empire were done alone by the Eternals. We wrought this empire through our blood and toil. The Eternal home world was created soely through the mights and skills of the Eternals. The Eternals never used the labour and toils of peasents and workers of younger races in the Eternal Empire to forge it."

Commissar Fedorov said, "You mean to tell me that this came by magic!? By mere psykery!?"

The Eternals answered," This came to pass by the labours of the Eternals and through the power of the Eternals."

The Eternals answered," This came to pass by the labours of the Eternals and through the power of the Eternals."

The Commissar then said, testing them, "Then demonstrate this power."

The Eternals answered," Then we shall prove our power to you who do not trust in us."

One of the Eternals raised his hand and brought up an entire moon from a nearby planet and placedit in orbit around the planet. Then the Eternal destoryed cuasing a rain of gold and silver light to shine on the planet.

The Commissar immediately shut up. He had seen enough.

One of the others, intrigued, said, "Tell me, is there a way we could learn these things?"

The Eternals answered," Now you cannot. As you are not yet old enough to posses such power within your bodies and your minds."

OOC: I mean that your people as humans are npt evoled enough to attain such powers.

The Eternals answered," Now you cannot. As you are not yet old enough to posses such power within your bodies and your minds."

OOC: I mean that your people as humans are npt evoled enough to attain such powers.

OOC: True...ICly, they might not know that.

The Commissar stormed out, with the man who asked cursing him. "Fool! You could've kept your tongue shut, but no.....you had to be the missionary! YOU FOOL!"

The man then shook his head...

The Eternals responded to his actions by asking," Why do you punish this man for simply asking a question. If you wish to know as your race ages and you minds and bodies will become more powerful."

The other man said, "Forgive me, I merely mean to chastise my fellow Churchman for his impetousness. I try not to make my betters prove their powers, see, terrible things happened beforehand."

The other man said, "Forgive me, I merely mean to chastise my fellow Churchman for his impetousness. I try not to make my betters prove their powers, see, terrible things happened beforehand."

The Eternals replied," It is quite alright. Couristy is what has caused civilizations to grow and prosper. Though it has also destroyed civilizations also."

The man replied, "Yes...but that fellow I know has a tendency to overreact. Partly why I am afraid. I am curious.....tell me, what is the name of this place in your tongue..."

One of the Eternals answered," This world in our tongue is Gernuthai."

The Eternal continued," What have you come to call this world in your own tongue?"

The Eternal continued," What have you come to call this world in your own tongue?"

The man said, "Trotskygrad."

One of the Eternals asked," That is an inresting name. Does it have any meaning in one of your people's tongues?"

One of the Eternals asked," That is an inresting name. Does it have any meaning in one of your people's tongues?"

The man said, "It means 'City of Trotsky' in Russian. Trotsky was one of our Heroes."

The same Eternal responded," That is a figthing name for your people."

Then another Eternal then said," How many of your people now dwell on this world?"

The same Eternal responded," That is a figthing name for your people."

Then another Eternal then said," How many of your people now dwell on this world?"

The man said, "A few billion, I am not sure of the exact number."
